The Georgia REALTORS® are excited to offer $1,000 undergraduate college scholarships for students majoring in a real estate or related degree. One new scholarship recipient will be selected for each school year. Once awarded, the scholarship is renewable for up to three times for a maximum of four scholarships.

Please read the criteria below, complete the application and email back to the Scholarship Foundation, scholarships@garealtor.com, for consideration. The application deadline is May 15 each year for the following school year.

The scholarship is available to any full-time under-graduate student attending an accredited university in the state of Georgia (private or state) majoring in real estate or a real estate-related field.

One new applicant will be awarded a scholarship the upcoming school year in the amount of $1,000. The scholarship is renewable for up to three times for a maximum of four scholarships.

The applicant must be enrolled in college to apply but does not have to be a freshman.

All applicants will be screened and selected by the Scholarship Committee Trustees.

Scholarships may be used for tuition, fees, meal plan, dorm fees and other directly-related school expenses. Scholarship funds cannot be used for travel or off-campus living expenses.

The application must include: - High school / college transcripts - SAT/ACT scores, - A 500-600 word essay to summarize college and career plans in addition to why the applicant feels deserving of the scholarship, and - Two letters of recommendation; one from a teacher/professor and one from a non-family member.

To renew a scholarship, the student must: - Maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher on a 4.0 scale, - Provide current transcripts documenting GPA and current major, and - Submit the renewal request form.

A change of major prior to the start of a school year will result in the loss of the scholarship effective immediately. Changes made during a school year will result in loss of the scholarship effective the following school year.

Other Considerations

Priority will be given to Georgia REALTOR® relatives.

Real estate-related degrees could include Finance, Business, Law, etc., subject to the discretion of the Scholarship Trustees and dependent upon what career the applicant intends to pursue with the degree.
